SALT FOR THE THRoAT.-In these
days, when diseases of the throat pre-
vail, and particularly dry, hacking
cough which is not only distressing to
ourselves, but those with whom we
are brought into business contact,
those thus afflicted may be benefited
by trying the following remedy
Last fall We were induced to try
what virtue there was in common
salt. We commenced by using it
three times day, morning, noon and
night. We dissolved large teaspoon
full of common salt in half tumbler
full Of cold water. With this We
gargled the throat most effectually
just before meal time. The result
has been that during the entire win
ter We were not only free from the
usual coughs and colds to which, far
as our memory extends, we have al
ways been subject, but the dry, hack
ing cough has entirely disappeared.
We attribute it entirely to the salt
gargle and so most cordially recon-
mend it TO those Of our readers who
are subject to disease OF the throat.
Many persons who have never tried
the salt gargle have the impression
that it is unpleasant. Such is not the
case. On the contrary, it is pleasant
and after few days use no person
who loves nice, clear mouth and
frst-rate sharpener OF the appetite
will abandon it.-Exchange.

The PRESIDE SAINT.-Doubtless
the memory Of each one Of us will fur.
nish the picture of some member Of a
family, whose very presence seemed
to shed happiness; a daughter, per-
haPs, whose light step even in the dis
lance irradiated every ones couuten-
ance, What was the secret OF such a
ones power What had she done :?
Absolutely nothing but radiant smiles,
beaming good humor, the tact of doing
what every one wanted, told that she
had gotten out Of self and learned to
think for others; so that at one time it
showed Itself in deprecating the quar-
rel which lowering brows and raised
tone already showed to be impending,
by sweet words; at another, BY smooth
ing an invalid's pillow; al another, By
humoring and softening father who
had returned weary and ill-tempered
from the irritating cares of busi less.
None but she saw those things. none
ont loving heart could see. That
was the secret of her heavenly power.

the other boys at "Old Columbus's"
expense. and invited several OF his
companions TO so with him.
Having come to the elephants
stable. Dave gave him, first, candy,
then cake, and finally cried: Now,
boys and slipped piece OF tobacco
into his proboscis, intending to get
out Of danger, and enjoy odd Column
buss disgust and anger.
But before he could move Columbus
seized him, and whirled him upward
through the opening overhead against
the roof of the stable.
unhust by his unexpected rise,
Dave dropped on the hsy-mow. The
other boys below, sup 'osiug this to
be the trick promised them, cried
out In admiration.

The STORY OF A SLAvER.-The
other day heard story from a sea
captain who has been all over the
world and finally near Atlantis, the
best place, he says, he has ever found.
Among the seafaring men he knew
before the war was a captain that
bad been q SLAYER. Once he had a
cargo Of 300 slaves, sailing with them
from off the coast OF Africa to Cuba.
After a few days sail he saw he was
chased by | nited States man of war.
II he was caught with the slaves the
penalty was death for him and kis
crew, and his cargo was worth $500, I.
$50. 30 he had two incentives to get
away, and made his preparations for
either event-escape or capture. He
hung the heavy iron cable or chain
that holds the anchor, all around the
hull Of his vessel, on the outside, Just
below the edge Of the deck. 1t was
held by some cleats These cables
are so heavy that a. man can lift only
about two feet of one. Then he had
the 300 naked negroes brought on
deck and each ones wrists crossed
and tied fast. They were then placed
along the gunwales, facing outward
and leaning over, and strong cord
fastened the hands of each one to this
heavy iron cable Just below them on
the outside.
Then the captain awaited the re-
suit OF the race. He had on every
stitch Of canvass his poles could carry.
If he could run till dark he hoped to
dodge the steamer and be out OF sight
before another day. But the sun
did not 60 down fast enough, and the
steamer came on too fast. There was
at last no hope OF escape. The crew
stood ready with axes; the captain
raised his hand and in an instant
every cleat was knocked loose. There
was a sudden Jerk. over went the me-
groes, there was for an instant fringe
OF 600 black heels in the air, and ca.
Die and negroes were gone to the bot
tom. c mmodore Maury says the
pressure of water at great depths is
such that fishes cannot 60 there to de.
YOUR and chemical decomposition can
not take place. So those negroes are
down there yet, still tied in a cir
Gle to that iron cable with their heads
down and heels up, in the eternal
stiffness of those depths.
As soon as the man Of war came NJ
lieutenant boarded the SLAYER and
found plenty of signs of negroes, but
not a single slave. And the captain
was not arrested. He soon had anoth,
er cargo OF negroes, which he this time
successfully landed and sold in Cuba
Tn his return to Boston, however, ht
and his mate fell out, and the mate
told on him. The captain ran away
to Cuba, and was not prosecuted. AT
ter awhile his friends succeeded il
getting pardon Tor him from tn,
president, and he returned to Boston
where he now resides wealthy, hap
" and respected. lie told this story
to his old friend, who told it to me
As tor the poor negroes ierked ovel
the gunwales so suddenly headfore
most into the water forever-well
they were captured while trying t,
capture some other negroes to sell
and only suffered the fate thew wer,
trying to impose on others of their
own kind.
